Posted by: Nadene Theriault-Copeland on May 22, 2005 03:19 PM | Comments (2)
A conference and series of performances and installations just isn't enough to convey what it is we are trying to do with Deep Wireless - which is to celebrate, promote and support creativity on the airwaves. There must be radio to complete the agenda!
This is the third year that New Adventures in Sound Art has hosted a commissioning/residency opportunity as part of Deep Wireless, co-produced with CBC Radio's Outfront with residencies at Charles Street Video. This year's artists are Yves Daoust, Milena Droumeva, Geoff Siskind, and Dragan Todorovic. The 2005 Deep Wireless commissions are being broadcast in May on CBC Radio's Outfront, a show that is broadcast on CBC Radio One (99.1 FM in Toronto) Monday through Thursday at 11:45 AM.

And Milena Droumeva's "I Do" will be aired May 25th
Milena Droumeva is an audio artist originally from Bulgaria and her partner is of Irish background. They are planning their wedding. What will it sound like? For Milena the sounds inside her head are as loud as the ones everyone else can hear.
Something borrowed. Something new. Something from e-Bay. Something stolen (but not really). Something blue. Something like a rose. Rainbow-coloured unicycles. Welcome to my wedding!
